Not 3.0.2, but VB 2.2.4 is running Vista64 just fine at the moment on b117. This is on an Intel E5405 (Dell Precision 7400). I DID run into some problems getting it installed and occasionally booting will "abort" (VB's term) for no apparent reason. Trying again usually works. (Pure "feel-o-meter" observation: it seems to abort more often if I happen to be dragging the window around while Vista is booting...) ACPI, IO APIC, VT-x, and 3D acceleration are enabled. Nested paging and PAE are disabled. I'm using a virtual Intel PRO/1000 ethernet and AC97 audio. Only thing odd about my setup is that I installed onto a vmdk built from a zvol. I was thinking about upgrading to VBox 3, but your comments have me a bit nervous. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
